The word density comes from the Latin term "densitas" and means the degree of concentration of some elements within a surface, for its part demography comes from the Greek "demos" (peoples) and "spelling" (writing). We can say then that demographic density is about studying the relationship between the number of people who occupy a territory and its size, that is, when we observe a small territory inhabited by many people we say that there is a high density, but if for On the contrary, we have few people inhabiting a large territory, we say that the density is low.
In order to calculate the approximate size of the density of this population, it is necessary to apply the following formula:
TERRITORY POPULATION
And its value will generally be given in individuals per km2
In Venezuela, the states with the highest demographic density are the Federal District, Aragua, Carabobo, Lara, etc. This would be related to the economic capacity of these states, which in turn is related to other factors such as sociological, cultural and natural; Those states such as the Amazon, Bolívar, Delta Amacuro, are states of low demographic density since having an extensive territory when compared with the number of people who live in it its value is low.
This difference causes an increase in economies, industrial activities and a decrease in agricultural and livestock activities.
